DEATH OF THE OKAPI. 



I am sorry to inform my readers that this 

 wonderful animal died on the 29th September 

 last. 



Mr. Lhoest writes me as follows : — 



"The Okapi was imported on the 

 ninth of August, and died on the twenty- 

 ninth of September. 



"It suffered from an illness of the 

 liver, lights, intestines, and a conse- 

 quential scantiness of blood, notwith- 

 standing the animal has always eaten 

 with very good appetite. It died in 

 fifteen minutes time." 



I should imagine our Society are now very 

 thankful they did not give a thousand pounds for 

 th'.s baby. Okapis must only arrive in Great 

 Britain at the end of April to enable them to be- 

 come acclimatised for the winter.

THE TRADE. 



By John D. Hamlyn. 



It is only fair to give a prominent place to 

 the first and only arrivals of the World's Zoo- 

 logical Trading Company. 



I have been waiting for Mr. Jordan to send 

 a list of his arrivals, but so far he has not done 

 so. 



A client has been good enough to send their 

 price list with particulars of the stock. 



Many of the rarer animals died en route,, 

 especially the Antelopes;. The following arrived : 



1 Roan. 



1 White Oryx. 



2 Gazelles. 



1 L'on, 3 — 4 years old, shewing mane. 



2 Lion Cubs. 

 1 Jackal. 



15 Baboons. 



1 Tortoise. 

 1 Python. 



1 Leopard. 

 1 Leopard Cub. 

 1 Spotted Hyaena. 

 1 Vulture. 

 5 Monkeys. 

 5 Cranes. 

 4 Ostriches. 

 4 Pelicans, and some Storks. 



The animals arrived at Brest, and were tran- 

 shipped to the coll er steamer, "Colina," which 

 discharged its interesting cargo at the Barry 

 Docks, Cardiff, thence by train to Hazelmere 

 Park, Buckinghamshire. I was vastly amused
